Month: December 2016

Join us for a screen printing workshop on Wednesday, Dec. 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lobby of Ophelia Parrish. Truman students, faculty, and Kirksville community members are invited to participate in the workshop, put on by students and faculty from the Department of Art at Truman State University.

Organizers will screen print posters and T-shirts featuring positive messages and designs supporting diversity and equality. Anyone interested in promoting these values both on campus and in the wider community is invited to participate by bringing blank T-shirts, tote bags, and other cotton apparel to be printed for free. Posters will also be free, and a limited number of T-shirts in assorted sizes will be available for a small fee. Please keep in mind that the ink will be black, so for best visibility, clothing should be another color.

Students from the Truman State University Art Department will display work at Gallery 104 – Art on the Square in Kirksville through the months of December and January. The student displays include work from the sculpture and photography areas.

The community is invited to a Featured Artist reception at the gallery this Friday, Dec. 2, from 5:30 – 7 p.m. Artist Steve Easterwood will be on hand to talk about his paintings and attendees will have the chance to win a free painting, titled “Retired.” The drawing for the artwork will be between 6:00 and 6:30 p.m. during the reception.

Another Featured Artist reception will be on Friday, Jan. 6, featuring work by artist Judy Harris.

Truman students featured in the exhibition in December include Larissa Sullivan, Madee Richardt, and Madi Pearson from sculpture (working under the direction of instructor Danielle Yakle), and Stephanie Best, Athena Geldbach, Austin Hornbostel, Haley Johnson, Madison Kamp, Lu Meng, Kara Nord, and Zoe Zaiss from photography (working with instructor Amanda Breitbach).
